Ayrton MiniBurst received its global premiere at PL+S 2018
Germany - French lighting manufacturer Ayrton launched its new compact graphic strobe, the MiniBurst, at last month’s Prolight+Sound trade show in Frankfurt.
The fixture is a smaller version of the company’s MagicBurst, which was the first strobe fixture to be produced by Ayrton.
Equal in physical size to MiniPanel-FX (the compact version of Ayrton’s MagicPanel-FX), MiniBurst measures 192mm x 192mm and contains 960 mono-chip, daylight-white LED sources grouped into 16 pixels on a 4 x 4 matrix. Its dimensions makes it extremely easy to integrate into lighting rigs of all sizes, yet it is capable of emitting up to 60,000 lumens, with a flicker-free output that is perfect for all TV and video applications as well as live performance, says the company.
Exhibiting Ayrton’s continuous pan and tilt and accurate positioning, MiniBurst’s graphic capabilities are evident in the individual control of speed, duration and intensity of every pixel. Each unit also comes with built-in pattern effects with speed and fade controls for fast and easy scenic applications.
The luminaire also features DMX512 control, RDM compatibility, and local or stand-alone control, including master/slave modes.
Ayrton’s global sales director, Michael Althaus, says: “The feedback we have received already from lighting designers following the release of MiniBurst at Prolight+Sound is that they really like the small dimensions of the unit which is very easy to integrate into their designs and into their lighting rig. MiniBurst is small enough to be slotted into almost any lighting position as well as proving extremely effective when used en masse in banks or walls, alone or in combination with MiniPanel-FX.”
